PROGRAM CATEGORIES

(Please note, not all programs may fit into one of these categories. Programs may also be designated with more than one category icon.)

FAST-PACED PROGRAMS

Field Programs marked with this icon are go, go, go! The itineraries are fuller and may feature longer travel times. These programs allow voyagers to see a lot without having to worry about logistics.

LEAN-IN PROGRAMS

Field Programs marked with this icon represent our most meaningful and unique experiences that invite voyagers to engage deeply! These may include but are not limited to homestays, meals with a family, experiences with local organizations, hands-on workshops, or visits to powerful sites that stretch one's comfort zone.

MOBILITY LEVELS

Please find base Field Program mobility levels below. These levels are designed to provide additional context on some of the conditions on a given program, however, they are not inclusive of any and all conditions that may be present on a program. Voyagers should use them as a guiding tool, however they are not absolute. There are additional mobility notes, where available, within each program description. Voyagers should consult with their physician and evaluate their own mobility needs before registering for Field Programs. There are additional mobility notes, where available, within each program description.

Please reach out to the Field Office if you would like support in selecting programs that meet your needs and abilities!
